A taxi driver whose 12 year career saw him drug and violent hundreds of women has finally been arrested, after police repeatedly botched investigations, so allowing him an extra year’s reign of terror.

The man, London black cab driver John Worboys (51), used an uncomplicated modus operandi: he would dupe female passengers into thinking he was celebrating a major betting win, using a bag full of cash as a prop, and then to ply them with drinks, which he had laced with sedatives.

He is said to have exploited the relatively safe image black cabs enjoy to lull victims into a false sense of security.

Once the victim was out cold, he would clamber onto the backseat to have his way with them, in what have been called “frightening, degrading and humiliating attacks”; in some cases he even invaded his victim’s home.

He would sometimes target three women a night, and since he operated seven days a week police suspect hundreds of victims have yet to come forward; many never will, probably not remembering anything of the assault, but after pictures were circulated dozens did.

He also faces allegations of wife-beating and child abuse from his defunct marriage.

He was first arrested in 2007, but police bungled this and a subsequent investigation so badly that he was left free to continue his career of taxi-driving terror. One officer may face criminal misconduct charges after nobody bothered to send semen stained trousers for DNA analysis, which would have lead them immediately to him.

It is thought the bungling led to an additional 30 women being attacked.

Eighty-five victims have already come forward after he was finally arrested in 2008, but police estimate his victims lie in the region of 500. If so, this would make him the most prolific sex offender ever in the UK, and one of the most active the world has seen.

He has been charged with 19 counts relating to his activities with 12 women, with most offences relating to the unlawful administration of sedatives for the purpose of overpowering his victim. He faces a life sentence, and quite probably further charges; sentencing is in April.

When he was finally arrested, police found his trunk stuffed with money, drink and sex toys.

Sometimes death penalty or lifetime just isn't enough.
But I do hope he face the life sentence in the company of a guy twice his size that has a dick the size of an arm and assfucks him three times a day with his dick wrapped in sandpaper...
One can only hope

"he would dupe female passengers into thinking he was celebrating a major betting win, using a bag full of cash as a prop, and then to ply them with drinks, which he had laced with sedatives."

I kinda a like this guy, only shows that girls are only after money. And in the process he turned it around for them. Instead of the women fucking you over and stealing you're hard earned cash he turned it around. And did so in a night, made them feel ashamed and made these bitches get owned.

Okay, 500 women over 12 years and NOT ONE until recently went to the police? I'm calling bullshit on this, there is no way in this day and age of people obsessively nosing into other people's business when they are out in public that he could get away with doing this almost once a week for 12 years.
Just no way.

goddamn thats one ugly fucker. dont know how anybody could forget to report this. the uk has some of the worst criminals ever it makes me fear for my loved ones. its a shame they make it seem so nice. btw, no anime related pics?

Wow, the UK has cab drivers from the UK?! In American cities, they're all middle eastern or south asian and have such heavy accents that you can't tell what they're saying sometimes. And every so often, the cabs just have a weird, unidentifiable smell to them that make you want to open the window even in the dead of winter.

3kaku? That's a new one.
I just keep the keyboard shortcut to 'Δ' handy.

Man, it is incredible what this man got away with. I am stunned the victim count can be that high. I'll bet he's on the receiving end this time round in jail. But who knows, maybe he'll get kicks out of violating the prisoners too. Once a crook...
